5  About NTT  NTT - A global IPv6 deployment case study  Adoption considerations  An Adoption how-to  IPv6 beyond the transition  Hikari-TV  Earthquake warning service

6  All backbone equipment needs to be audited and upgraded if necessary:  Chassis, cards, memory, etc.  Operating systems  What features will be offered and can the network support these features.  How will deployment take place:  Core first then the aggregation routers  Both at the same time  Set up an entire separate (parallel) network  Use tunnels  A test environment needs to be set up. (everything needs to be tested)

7  Router configuration tools.  Route Registry.  Address allocation database and procedures.  DNS support. (records and access method)  Customer interfaces. (looking glass, control panels, etc.)  Access feature support:  Access methods (TDM, Ethernet, Frame, etc.)  Features (shadow, managed router, etc.)  Consulting services  Billing system support.

8  Network Monitoring.  Troubleshooting tools.  Training for NOC and IPeng personnel.  SLA monitoring and display tools.  Any other support and monitoring tools will need to be upgraded.

9  Collateral needs to be developed.  Decide which verticals to target.  PIQs need to be revamped for IPv6.  Business partnerships (if needed) to support the product.

11  In 1996 NTT Labs started one of the world’s largest global IPv6 research networks.  Equipment procurement: in 1997 started working with vendors for IPv6 support, and in 1999 started pushing hard for commercial support.  In 1999 NTT obtained an sTLA from APNIC. (Asia)  In 2000 an sTLA was obtained from ARIN. (N.A.)  6bone was used for testing initially - later a private IPv6 lab in Dallas was used.  In 2000 IPv6 was officially on NTT Communications’ product road map.

12  NTT treated the deployment of IPv6 similar to launching a new product.  Set up a core team representing all necessary groups  Set up a project plan, document project requirements, design documents, test plans, etc.  Deploy IPv6 in a phased approach: – (I) Precommercial Phase – (II) Commercial – (III) Follow up releases

13  In June of 2003, NTT Communications launched pre- commercial IPv6 service in the US.  Native IPv6 was available in three locations:  Bay Area  Los Angeles  Washington D.C. Area  Cisco 7206 routers in these three locations running dual stack - tunneling across the backbone. (backbone not dual stack)  Tunneling (RFC 2893 manually configured IPv6 over IPv4) available in all other POPs. (tunnel built to one of the locations above)

14  Pre-commercial service was offered from June 2003 to December 2003. (at which time commercial service was launched)  Pre-commercial objectives:  Bring on a small, manageable number of customers  Test provisioning and support procedures  Train NOC staff  Continue JunOS/IOS IPv6 testing  Develop internal tools  Allowed time to upgrade backbone to dual stack  Still just a few dual stack routers with tunneling across the

backbone everywhere else.

16  In 4Q2003 global backbone was upgraded to dual stack. (Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe)  In December, 2003, three types of IPv6 service were offered on a commercial basis:  Native IPv6 (available at every POP)  Manually configured IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling  Dual stack IPv4/IPv6  AS2914 core completely dual stack. (globally)  7x24 NOC support and SLAs.

 Still service functionality gaps.

18  Since the commercial launch in December 2003, follow up releases have been pushed out to fill functionality gaps.  Added IPv6 support for:  Off-net Tunneling  Managed Router Service  Shadow support for TDM and Ethernet  Managed Firewall  Dual stack Virtual Private Server  Our goal and philosophy is to offer all features and services in IPv4 and IPv6. (It doesn’t matter which flavor of IP you buy - you can get the same things.)

19  IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Backbone has shown excellent performance with no critical problems so far.  Core routers / routing protocols have had no problems handing IPv6 traffic. (in addition to the IPv4 traffic/routing)  But still, we have some operational gaps:  Stats tools are still lacking in the IPv6 environment (IPv6 MIB support, SNMP over IPv6 support…)  IPv6 jitter measurement system compatible with our IPv4 system.

20 21  Create a core project team with representation from all pertinent groups in your organizations.  Plan well in advance and make purchasing decisions based on IPv6 support. (NTT had no capital budget specifically for IPv6 deployment)  Proper planning reduces cost and pain.  Select the best backbone migration approach for your network - running IPv4/ IPv6 dual stack is recommended if possible.  Set up a test environment and/or use existing test beds.  Get training for engineering, provisioning, and support personnel.  Employ a phased rollout approach  Allows to continue testing  Get internal resources trained and up to speed  Solidify internal processes and tools  Can fill in functionality gaps over time  Make sure your security policy also includes IPv6  Get outside help if needed.  IPv6 roll out should be easier today with the increased maturity of IPv6.

27 NTT’s FLETS Hikari Next network (aka the NGN) is a closed IPv6 network. Here are the primary reasons that IPv6 was used instead of IPv4.

1. Scalability for a large number of always-on customers. . Basically infinite address space. . Each customer is routed a /48 (2^16 64 bit subnets) 2. End to end IP address transparency . Customers have unique IP address, which simplifies applications like VoIP, multicast (used in IPTV and EQ warning system) and P2P applications. 3. Lower capital and operational expense. . Simple, hierarchical network configuration. 4. Multicast enabled and QoS support. . The NGN uses multicast and QoS to support the applications that run over it. IPv6 offers a number of enhancements in these areas. 5. The NGN network is a closed network and built from scratch. . The designers had a clean slate and selected the best protocol.

. Why would you not use the next generation of the IP protocol - IPv6!

28  Earthquake wave consists of two waves:  P: comes first, with less energy  S: comes later, with massive energy  Japan Meteorological Agency has 1000+ sensors all over Japan  Detection of the P-wave by sensors are processed at the JMAʼs server which identifies the probable epicenter, magnitude, and direction of wavefront travel within 2 seconds  A partnership of NTT Communications with Halex Corp. and VAL Lab in Japan, connects our IPv6 network, information distribution server and receipt software to JMAʼs server so that the earthquake warning information can be distributed BEFORE the MASSIVE ENERGY hits the people, buildings and city/ community infrastructure  This system can be developed to initiate automated fire-suppression system, to automatically stop elevators, close natural gas and petroleum pipeline valves, etc.  Makes use of the IPv6 Internet and Multicast.  Commercially launched July 1, 2007
